Freed-Hardeman University

Freed-Hardeman University's Honors Council recently traveled to Chicago in early November, where they explored, learned and gathered new ideas. The 58th annual National Collegiate Honors Council held its conference from Nov. 8-12, with the theme "Liberty, Equality, and Humanity." Session topics included student moderator training, research and honors, student socials, as well as networking opportunities. FHU's honors program promotes the free exchange of ideas, and students are regularly invited to make honors presentations at the conference meetings of the Tennessee Honors Council, the Southern Regional Honors Council and the National Collegiate Honors Council. "It was helpful in planning the honors competition for high school seniors looking to attend Freed-Hardeman," said Matthan Smith, a senior double major in accounting and financial planning. "I think our advisor, Dr. Jenny Johnson, gathered fun ideas for the competition." Johnson is the dean of the honors college and director of FHU study abroad.
